I see that the Retool Database docs have information about the storage size limits of Retool Database, but what I'm not seeing is any information about bandwidth or number of concurrent connections. Is this known/available anywhere else? Thanks!
meant to say "information about limits to bandwidth or number of concurrent connections"...
Basically I'm evaluating whether to use Retool Database or some other hosted Postgres instance (e.g. Supabase) for a new project, knowing that I will want to allow access to that database from other apps at some point.
Hi Levity! Welcome to the Retool community! Good to have you!
There isn't a published number for limitations to bandwidth for the Retool Database. What I would point you towards though is this guideline from the docs:
"Retool Database is designed to be a convenient way to store data to use within or outside of Retool. It is not designed to be a highly-available, scalable database service, and you should use a separate managed database provider if your use case requires these guarantees."
All is to say the bandwidth is shared across our cloud users and is not advisable to be used in a Production setting and an alternative should be used as you scale.
Let me know if that answers your question. Thanks!
Ah, thanks for highlighting that! That's very helpful.
